Return & Refunds Policy

Intro

Kinbashi provides a straightforward warranty that is processed in the most hassle-free way possible. 

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee for Any Reason

Undamaged products may be returned for a full refund for any reason within 30 days of the date the item was delivered to the designated shipping address. Once the returned item arrives back in Kinbashi’s warehouse for inspection, the refund process will begin. 

  • Returns must include all accessories
  • Items must include original packaging
  • For non-quality related warranty claims, buyer is responsible for shipping costs
  • For quality related warranty claims, Kinbashi refunds the cost of the product itself

Refund requests for the 30-day money back guarantee expire 30 days after opening a warranty claim. It is not possible to process a request for a refund for non-quality issues for items that have expired this 30-day window. 

Warranty Claims for Quality-Related Issues

All quality-related defects on items sold directly by Kinbashi or Kinbashi's authorized resellers are covered by an extensive warranty, starting from the date of purchase. 

Quality-related warranty claims on purchases made through Kinbashi’s authorized distributors and retailers are handled through Kinbashi.
For quality-related warranty claims, items will be replaced with a new item.
Warranties on all replacements follow the same warranty timeframe of the original defective item, or 3 months after being replaced, whichever is longer. Warranties on products are void after having been fully refunded.
